SALES
Because this is a fundraiser, you have a choice of contributing either 50% or 100% of the auction sale price of your piece to the Carbon County Arts Guild.
RETAIL VALUE / RESERVE PRICE
Retail Value is the amount the artist would like for their piece to sell.
Reserve Price is the lowest amount the artist will accept for their piece. You may place an auction reserve price on your work. If you place a reserve, work will not be sold until the reserve price is met. Bidding will start at or near the declared reserve. Once a work reaches the artist’s reserve price, the work can continue to accept bids and will be sold to the highest bidder when the bidding closes.
No Reserve is a viable option to consider, especially as this is a fundraiser.
The sale proceeds will be spilt with the artist as indicated in the entry submission.
SHIPPING
In the event a work does not sell, artists are asked to contact the Carbon County Arts Guild to make the arrangements for the return of the piece. Art to be returned by shipping will be managed by the local UPS/FedEx outlet at Junction 7. That information will be shared after the event if needed.
